Prince George RCMP handed out eight tickets and 12 warnings to local drivers for speeding in school zones last week during the first day of school.
RCMP, along with the B.C. Highway Patrol, Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement and ICBC, as well as the RCMP volunteers, were at Pineview Elementary and Peden Hill Elementary last Tuesday.
“We really want to drive home the message that these are high-risk areas for students and we all need to slow down and keep a watch out for them,” RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said in a release.
School zones are in effect Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., when school is in session.
